The marijuana plant’s leaves and buds are actually loaded
with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer compounds. These compounds
are known as cannabidiols (CBD) and they make marijuana, cannabis, or whatever
you want to call it, a superfood.

Yup – it’s true.

Don’t Get Dazed And Confused

But when heated, all of that goodness evaporates – it goes
up in smoke and is blown away. Instead, be blown away by the health benefits of
juicing the raw marijuana plant.

When heated the psychoactive compound – tetrahydrocannabinol
(THC) – is released from the plant. Most
people don’t want medicine to get “high” though. Our bodies were made to
receive cannabidiols and the plant does not need to be heated to get these healing
properties.

We have cannabinoid receptors built-in to our bodies.
Getting CBD into your body can normalize functional systems like cell
communication and immune functions. This means that the systems that make up
your body, from cells to organs, will talk to each other better, have a better
understanding of what’s going on, and help to clean things up.

Whole Lotta Love

It’s like a good relationship – both people should talk to
each other and work with each other to keep the house clean.

And with cannabinoid receptors in our brains and pretty much
no other way to get cannabidiol, marijuana seems to be the perfect medicine to
ensure our bodies are working at peak performance. Major league sports would
disagree.

CBDs bridge the gap of neurotransmission in the central
nervous system by providing a two-way system of communication that completes a
positive “feedback loop” says Dr. William Courtney, a medical marijuana expert
and founder of Cannabis International. This is instead of a one-way
transmission which promotes chronic inflammation.

CBDs mimic the body’s natural two-way communications system.

Stairway To Heaven

“The endogenous cannabinoid system acts as a modulator in
fine-tuning a lot of these systems, and if something is deranged biochemically
in a person’s body, it may well be that a cannabinoid system can bring things
back into balance.” – Dr. Ethan Russo, a Seattle area physician, Senior Advisor
to GW Pharmaceuticals.

Juicing marijuana ensures you’ll get the healing benefits of
the plant without the high. No smoking, no high, and you can ingest higher
doses of the drug, which will inevitably have your system running more smoothly
and you feeling better. Juicing the plant also offers versatility: you can add
other fruits and veggies to make delicious juices and incorporate cannabis into
your diet.

Communication Breakdown

Smoking promotes inflammation which leads to infection and
potential dysfunction or communication breakdowns in your body. While lots of
doctors suggest vaporizing over smoking, most promote edibles over vaporizing.
But you still need to heat up the drug to make edibles. That’s why, medically
speaking, juicing the plant works best.

4 Health Benefits To Juicing Marijuana

Dr. Courtney and others are working hard to legalize the
drug and work it into mainstream diets. They’ve found that using cannabis as a
food (instead of a smokeable) it can help prevent, diminish, and fix:

Autoimmune Disorders

Cellular Dysfunction

Chronic Inflammation

Cancer Cells

Of course, be sure to talk to a doctor – not a dealer – when
expressing interest in the drug. It is only currently legal in Colorado,
Washington, Alaska, and Oregon, but it has been allowed for medical use in 23
other states.
